I don’t truly know. What I do know is like you I’ve had a gutful of it.

I’m afraid we are going to have to get off our arses more often than we want to, to make these majors behave. The problem is so much of the country is swinging bogan right and not the other way. We need it to go the other way not just to move the Overton window back but stop this arse licking of a genocidal state.

That's another thing I just don't get.... How do people look at how things are playing out, and think that someone like Pauline is the way to go?

We're copying Americas homework, right down to electing grifters who are actively working against our best interests. Why???

I don't understand how two people can look at the same evidence and reach such polar opposite conclusions.

Yep, it’s insane. The evidence of who Hanson works and stands for is absolutely clear, her corruption with past receipts, dogshit candidates that often don’t even get past their criminal records.

It can only be anger and hatred, either directed from personal grievance or aimed at certain groups. It’s volatile too, you see Greens senators being told on other networks that Aussies would turn up with guns etc if they were elected, I saw that myself this morning.

That’s the other thing; we see clearly who is putting their arses on the line for us among this major party astroturfing staffer quality shit.

It really is insane. I guess a lot of people once reasonably rational are cooked. We saw this all with the referendum though. It has to be hatred or driven by anger.
